I definitely can’t wait. I’d love if they added S3 support in the cloud. I feel like that would help with some of the performance risks.

I signed up for the 3 month beta for Amazon Drive and have less than 3 weeks left. I guess I should have waited for the acceptance before starting the clock. I didn’t think it would take this long and still be waiting.
Just a heads up, for when/if you get in…
Amazon isn’t currently working that well if at all with Plex Cloud, expect to see a bunch of issues when trying to use it. API/rate issues mainly. This is a issue with Amazon though and not Plex. Plex is working with amazon to get it fixed, no ETA.
Google drive is currently working with Plex Cloud and a lot of positive feed back so far, a lot more stable and faster. People with large libraries though are getting locked out of there drive for abuse - hitting api limits spamming, so use caution for people with large libraries.
One drive and Dropbox is also supported now but unknown how they are working at the moment with performance sorry.

People are still testing for exact details but so far looks like people have been getting blocked from 3TB and up. I believe a lot of the issues though is how many items are being scanned in at a time. So someone with a large library of files will trigger it.
From what i have seen, it looks like people running more than 1000 media files in the library are triggering the block. (24 hour block). There have been a couple people that have posted there library stats, showing 300-600 items in the library and so far everything is running fine.

Right now, the scanner for Google Drive is triggering several scans on the same file multiple times a second, causing a API abuse hit, which results in a ban of the drive for 24 hours. Can access the drive, but no downloading from it. Dev’s are aware though and working on it.
Still waiting 
(my Cloud storage is filled ;))
Still waiting has anyone had there invite
Waiting for invite here as well. Thanks for any help
Can anyone confirm that plex actually sent out new invites yesterday?
Patience! 364 days to go, no year was quoted!
I haven’t seen a flurry of new questions or responses in the Cloud forum from any new names so I’m going to assume ‘No’

And just as a heads up to that heads up, Amazon Cloud Drive works really well with other online servers having Plex installed. So if you’re like me and have yet to get an invite, but have tons of data on Amazon, you can rent a dedicated server or a VPS on the cheap and use that to stream media from Amazon through Plex until the invite arrives.

Hm i hope you are not right…that would be a pretty bad move
Actually today I have seen some more activity and names I haven’t seen before post in the beta forum. I do believe new invites are trickling in but I agree with @GeraintR that it doesn’t look like the floodgates opened just yet.

That would be ridiculously expensive 
.
The Email I got when I filled in the webform was:
“We’re ready to unleash the beta on some good looking Plex users based on qualification/first-come-first-served basis - please be patient!”
I filled in the form the second it hit my inbox, So its just the qualification bit. I guess if you suggested you had >10GB and home movies you’d probably get an invite because that would be easy on their server load. If you were honest then probably keep waiting…

Hey, at least you got an e-mail
To be honest, this is a good case of a functionality that needs some more time in the oven and is basically still in an alpha stage. I think Plex could have handeled their communication a lot better, but I totally understand why they take their time before they open up the floodgates; if there is something we don’t need it’s more posts on this forum with “PLEX CLOUD IS USELESS!!”.
Still nowt for me yet
It may well be pretty much in ‘alpha stage’ but I would still like to give it a try, and promise not to post that its useless 
Same here still waiting would be nice to get invite before Christmas

I have 15 TB of data on Google Drive. Could I do the same with a server/VPS, and is there a guide anywhere for how to connect the two?
